Private lessons
An instructor just for you, and a lesson built around what you want to do.
An hour and a half is the time it takes to work on one goal, and with three hours you get through far more. Slots start outside the top of the hour, when the base area and the lifts are quieter: you get up the mountain sooner and the lesson starts for real straight away.

What people say
5 out of 5 stars
Abbiamo portati i bambini (8 anni e 4 anni) per la prima volta a sciare e abbiamo scelto YES Academy per dare delle lezioni private a loro, tre giorni di seguito. Siamo molto felici della scelta! I bambini ci sono divertiti molto, hanno preso la fiducia e ci chiedono già di tornare presto! I prezzi sono stati corretti per la stagione, gli insegnanti Luisa e Giovanni sono molto bravi e lo stuff nell'ufficio molto gentili. Ci torneremo sicuramente e grazie ancora!

The three ways to use it
Just you
One or two of you and an instructor of your own: full attention, for when you have one thing you want to sort out.
A private group
Friends or family booking together, up to 5 people of a similar level: the price per person comes down.
A shared private lesson
The office matches you with someone at your level and you split the cost. If the match doesn’t come together, we let you know 48 hours ahead and offer you an alternative.
Matching you with an instructor
Tell us what you’re after
We’ll find the right instructor for you: the office matches you on age, language, character and goals. If there’s already an instructor you get on with, just ask for them.
Video feedback is available on request.
How it works
Pick a length and a time
Book online on Bee Bee Board: the discount for booking from the site is applied on its own.
Get your confirmation
Online you pay the full amount. The booking is confirmed when our written confirmation reaches you, by email or WhatsApp.
See you on the snow
Arrive on time at the Tappeto Jolly. Would you rather meet somewhere else? Ask the office first.
Good to know
The rules that matter most. The full set is in our terms and conditions.
Longer lessons
There are also 4h30, 6h and 7h30 lessons, with the discount already in the price: ask the office.
Cancellation
Private lesson, on your own or as a group: by 16:00 the day before. Shared private lesson: up to 72 hours ahead. The refund is less 10%, retained to cover admin costs.
Timekeeping
The lesson ends at the time booked, five minutes early so you can get back to the meeting point: time lost to a late start can’t be made up.
Under-18s
A parent or guardian has to be there, on time, at the end of the lesson: the instructor can’t leave a child on their own.
What’s not included
- The lift pass
- Insurance: third-party liability cover is compulsory by law and you can buy it with your lift pass
What to bring
- A helmet, compulsory by law: without one, the instructor can’t take you on the lesson
- Skis or a board and boots: if you don’t have them, there are two hire shops near the school
How to book
The button opens Bee Bee Board, the system we use for bookings.
Meeting point
Tappeto Jolly magic carpet
At the foot of the Sestriere lifts. On request, once the office confirms: the Fraiteve gondola (opposite the Villaggio Olimpico), Borgata or Pragelato.
Any other questions?
What you need for this service is above, in “Good to know” and “What to bring”. For anything else there are the frequently asked questions, and the office is happy to help.
